New Generation of Saveiro to Be Produced in Taubaté (SP) Using the MQB-A0 Platform, with 1.0 TSI Engines of Up to 128 hp. Volkswagen Seeks to Regain Market Leadership Dominated by Fiat Strada, Which Sold Nearly Three Times More Units in 2024.
Volkswagen has finally decided to completely renew the compact pickup Saveiro, which will gain a new generation in 2025 to compete directly with the absolute segment leader, the Fiat Strada. The official launch of the model, scheduled for the second half, will bring a modern platform, more efficient engines, and technologies aligned with current demands of the Brazilian market. The information was released by the Terra Mobilidade portal on March 22, 2025.
Currently produced with the old platform of the Gol G5 launched in 2009, the Saveiro has already undergone three facelifts but has remained technologically outdated compared to Fiat’s rival. In 2024, the Strada sold an impressive 144,684 units, while the Saveiro lagged significantly behind, with only 56,984 vehicles sold. Now, with the complete renewal, Volkswagen aims to reduce this large sales gap.
MQB-A0 Platform and Production of the New Saveiro in Taubaté
The new Saveiro 2025 will be built on the MQB-A0 modular platform, the same used in the Polo Track and Tera SUV models. According to the Terra portal, using this modern base will allow Volkswagen’s pickup to receive more technological and safety features, as well as better structural performance and internal comfort.

The Volkswagen factory in Taubaté (SP) will be responsible for producing the new model, leveraging the existing infrastructure for the Polo and Tera models, which will reduce manufacturing costs and enable more competitive prices in the national market.
Efficient Engines and Improved Performance
One of the main attractions of the new Saveiro will be the adoption of turbocharged 1.0 TSI engines, with two power options: 116 and up to 128 horsepower. As reported by the specialized portal Terra Mobilidade, these engines may come with either a manual transmission or an automatic transmission, something highly desired by consumers seeking comfort and practicality in their daily lives.
In addition to greater power, the turbo engines will provide fuel economy and better performance, making the Saveiro more competitive against the Fiat Strada, which currently dominates the segment with different versions and mechanical options.
New Design and Advanced Technology
In terms of aesthetics, the new Saveiro will feature a completely renewed design, aligned with Volkswagen’s new global visual identity, with more modern and robust lines. The interior will also be completely redesigned, bringing technologies already present in other brand vehicles, such as a digital dashboard, integrated multimedia center, and advanced active safety systems.
Expectations are that the model will have various versions, from basic options to fully equipped versions, offering features such as LED headlights, emergency autonomous braking, and advanced driving assistants, as highlighted by the Terra portal.
A Volks ficou para trás. A gente lê o anúncio de um modelo que ainda não foi lançado e vê que tudo é velho. Motor 1.0 TSI de 116cv na Saveiro? Enquanto os concorrentes estão lançando pickups híbridas, elétricas de 450 cavalos, a Strada com motor 1.3 de 175cv, Toro com motor 2.2 Diesel de 200cv e câmbio Automático de 9 marchas, as futuras baterias de estado sólido de 1000v que carregamento 400km em 5 min, vem a Volkswagen anunciar Saveiro nova com tecnologia de 30 anos atrás da indústria. Já gostei de Volkswagen e acho importante priorizar pa indústria nacional, mas eles precisam acordar, se não o trem vai atropelar e depois não têm volta.
